The NBA has now released its L2M report on the Lakers-Suns matchup. Needless to say, it’s quite controversial.

The Suns' head coach Jordan Ott had a few choice words for the referees after his team's game against the Lakers.

On Sunday night at 5 p.m. PT, the 17-7 Los Angeles Lakers will square off against the 14-11 Phoenix Suns in a battle of Western Conference semi-contenders. Bot

The game swung late when the Suns’ Dillon Brooks hit a go-ahead three, then was ejected after drawing a second technical foul while celebrating. That opened the door for James, who drew a foul on Booker and calmly made two of three free throws.

The Phoenix Suns, coming off a 49-point loss to Oklahoma City in NBA Cup quarterfinals, rallied from 20 down but lost late to the Lakers.

The Phoenix Suns are 1-2 without star guard Devin Booker, who has missed their past three games with a right groin strain.

As blunt as one can be, former NBA player Paul Pierce says the Lakers and the Suns don't have the intelligence to go far in the playoffs.

That is, unless you're JJ Redick, because he lives for these types of situations. He got to do so today as the Los Angeles Lakers hacked out a 116-114 victory over the pesky Phoenix Suns. Those things – the collapse, the technicals, and the barbs – all happened in this game.
